GENERAL COMMENTS
InstructorThis is a very good essay, which is clearlystructured and well written. It expresslyaddresses the question throughout and isf ocused and analytical.
You deal with a range of relevant arguments, andthe essay works well as a coherent whole. Attimes you are a litt le reliant on certain key piecesof literature, and this did limit your mark slightly.
Nonetheless, you do ref er to a range of sourcesand use them appropriately, including a couple ofwell researched and very relevant articles, suchas the Aviram article.
